<div>The Division of Science at New York University Abu Dhabi is inviting applicants for a Junior Research Scientist in the area of experimental astro-particle physics and applications.
The applicant will work in the domain of particle and radiation detectors (organic and inorganic scintillators, photomultipliers and silicon photomultipliers, silicon drift detectors, etc.) applied to various domains: direct dark matter search with dielectric haloscopes, gamma ray spectroscopy, and space-based applications. The applicant may be involved in several projects, including the development and simulation of detectors for Lunar X-ray spectroscopy, in the framework of an extremely dynamic and stimulating research group. It is expected that the applicant will also contribute to the general management of the laboratory and its equipment.
Previous members of this group are now pursuing research and academic careers internationally. Applicants must have a Bachelors in Physics. Knowledge and experience in the design and development of particle detectors, including simulation tools such as GEANT4 is preferred, as well as enthusiasm to learn new techniques and to work and interact within a very diverse environment. Experience and interest in rare-event searches (e.g., axion and dark matter detection) and in applying radiation detection techniques to non-standard domains is preferred.
The terms of employment are competitive and will include housing and travel subsidies. Applications will be accepted immediately and candidates will be considered until the position is filled. To be considered, all applicants must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, transcript of degree, and at least two letters of recommendation, all in PDF format.
